He blends deep technical chops from roles at BMW and Elli (Volkswagen Group) with product leadership that has shipped B2B SaaS and B2C products reaching six-figure MAUs. Adrian is comfortable shifting between strategic leadership and day-to-day engineering, fostering customer-obsessed cultures among designers, PMs, and engineers.
